Swap and Cache

Hi,

I wonder if it is normal that on my K62-300 64 MB RAM system with 85 MB
Swapspace running Kernel 2.1.119 (gcc 2.7.2.3, libc5) with XFree86 (kdm), I
normally have about half my RAM (30MB) allocated as Cache and the system swaps
quite heavily (50% SWAP used), according to xosview.

I'd be happy to provide more details if someone could then tell me where I
messed up :)
